Chapter 73: On Leek Behavior
Chapter 73 On Leek Behavior
The Blue Flame Illusion Spirit left a trace of its power in Su Xiaomei’s body to help her suppress the anger in her body.
It then returned to Li Fan’s sea of consciousness.
In just this amount of time, Li Fan already felt a wave of exhaustion.
The Underworld Spirit Illusion Technique had not yet been practiced to the late stage of Qi Refining, and the first-born Illusion Spirit was still a bit weak.
Moreover, one had to concentrate and carefully control the intensity of the Illusion Spirit’s output so as not to cause damage to Su Xiaomei’s young body.
It was not an easy task for Li Fan either.
It was a good thing that there was no danger.
This time it would keep her safe and sound for ten years.
If Li Fan was able to retreat from the Cloud Water Heavenly Palace and obtain the Cloud Water Talisman in this life, he would have come to her earlier.
If Li Fan met an untimely end, she would also be able to travel to the Immortal Cultivation World with Su Changyu and the others ten years later.
Recovering his spirit, Li Fan walked out of the basement.
The Dali powerhouses were still all waiting outside.
After telling them that Little Sister Su had been treated, Li Fan told them to disperse.
He just left behind Bachelor Su and inquired about Little Sister Su’s situation.
Bachelor Su blushed and hesitated for a long time before he stammered out the whole story.
It turned out that Little Sister Su was not Bachelor Su’s daughter, but rather Bachelor Su’s sister, Su Yucheng’s daughter.
Su Yucheng was much younger than Bachelor Su, and was only sixteen years old when she conceived Little Sister Su last year.
At that time, her inexplicable pregnancy caused a furor in the Su residence.
This was because, at that time, she was not even married yet!
Being unmarried and pregnant was already a scandal. What made Master Su even angrier was that Su Yucheng refused to explain who the father of the child was.
She insisted that she had never done anything ungodly, but was just playing in the garden one day when she suddenly felt tired, so she took a nap.
Soon after waking up, she noticed something strange about her body.
But she was a young girl in a boudoir, how could she mention this kind of thing to others?
Until her stomach got bigger day by day, she finally couldn’t hide it.
This ridiculous explanation Su family certainly do not believe.
Angrily, Mr. Su wanted to abort the child.
But feeling the heartbeat of the fetus in her belly, Su Yucheng showed her strength as a mother.
No matter what, she refused to agree to abort the fetus, and even forced her to take a life.
Although Master Su was furious, he was not so angry as to really kill his own daughter as well.
He could only lock Su Yucheng in her room, not letting her go out to avoid news leakage.
In this way, finally waited until the day of labor.
It took a lot of effort to give birth to Little Sister Su.
Su Yucheng’s body was already weak, and she hadn’t received good care since she was pregnant.
After all this trouble, her body was even more unable to withstand it.
So within a few days after giving birth to Little Sister Su, she died with regret.
Before she died, she begged Su’s family to take good care of her.
The Su family were not heartless people.
After Su Yuzheng’s death, the family loved this little one who had been without a parent since she was a child, and they all hoped that she would grow up safe and happy.
Who would have thought that not long after Su’s birth, she would suffer from a strange disease.
Her whole body burned, even to the point where she had to use ice packs all the time to get relief.
Su’s family invited all the famous doctors in the capital, but they were unable to cure her. Until the arrival of Li Fan.
……
After Li Fan finished listening to Bachelor Su’s narration, he raised his head to look at the sky of this side of the world, pondering.
“Born with a sense of heavenly destiny? perhaps this explains why Little Sister Su’s talent is so high.”
“However, according to the original historical trajectory, even with her heavenly talent, it would be hard to escape death in front of the calamity.”
“In the entire Immortal Cultivation World, how many people are as gifted as Little Sister Su, yet like ordinary people, they die without a name.”
“From this aspect, the Heavenly Dao really does treat everyone equally.”
With this matter settled, Li Fan let out a long sigh, called out the Tai Yan Boat and flew away.
It didn’t take long to smoothly and safely return to Liuli Island.
As He Zhenghao said before, it took about twenty-five days before and after.
And up until this point, the Hidden Shape Talisman that he had previously inspired was also still having an effect.
“As long as one doesn’t fight with others, a Hidden Shape Talisman can actually last for so long. It’s really inexpensive. When I return to the island next time, perhaps I can buy some for backup.” Li Fan thought to himself.
Inside the Mountain and River Star Dipper Formation, Li Fan handed over the storage ring to He Zhenghao.
He Zhenghao was a bit distracted and just casually scanned the storage ring before putting it away.
Instead, his attention was focused on an ancient mirror in front of him.
Looking at its appearance, it was somewhat similar to the Heavenly Xuan Realm.
Li Fan followed He Zhenghao’s gaze and saw that the mirror displayed a line of small characters.
“Spirit Mist Grass: current price fifteen contribution points per plant.”
The number fifteen was changing constantly, turning into sixteen at one point, and then quickly turning into fourteen at another.
“Up, you go up!” He Zhenghao stared at the mirror dead on, as if he was possessed, his mouth repeating over and over again.
“Fellow Daoist He, what are you doing?” Li Fan asked curiously.
“Ai, you don’t know, fellow Daoist.” He Zhenghao said sullenly as he sighed without moving his eyes away.
“Some days ago, not long after you left, I received reliable news. The island where the Spirit Mist Grass was planted, because it was attacked by a foreign beast in the sea, the Spirit Mist Grass on the island was destroyed by most of it.”
“As I told you before, Spirit Mist Grass is the main raw material for making Hidden Shape Talismans, and it was already incredibly rare. Now that so much of it has been destroyed, the price is sure to go up like crazy.”
“At that time, the news hadn’t spread yet, so I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit. So I spent blood money in the Heavenly Xuan Realm and stocked up on a large batch of Spirit Mist Grass ……”
This operation sounded a bit familiar, Li Fan sized up He Zheng Hao and was a bit puzzled, “Isn’t that a good thing? Why do you, Taoist friend, look so out of spirits?”
“Ai, a good thing is a good thing, only that I was too happy too soon.” He Zheng Hao’s eyes did not leave the mirror and sighed with a sigh.
“At the very beginning, the price of Spirit Mist Grass was up a bit, from 20 points per plant to 25 points per plant. But who would have thought that before I had the chance to sell the Spirit Mist Grass in my hand, its price suddenly plummeted.”
“It plummeted all the way from 25 points to 13 points, nearly slashing that!” He Zhenghao’s heart ached immensely.
“Luckily, the price has rebounded recently, rising back up to around 15 points.”
……
As Li Fan listened to He Zheng Hao’s words, he couldn’t help but say, “Then why don’t you, Fellow Daoist, take the opportunity to sell all the Spirit Mist Grasses in your hand, at the very least, you can still get some of your capital back.”
He Zhenghao quickly shook his head, “How can this work. My nearly a hundred years of savings are riding in it, at the very least, I have to wait until it rises back up again, and then I’ll go out ……”
He said halfway, suddenly exclaimed, “How is falling again? Thirteen? Twelve? Ten? Eight? ……”
“Still down?!”
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Spirit Mist Grass avalanched, falling from fifteen points per plant to six points per plant before stabilizing with difficulty.
“It should …… go back up, right?”
After a long period of silence, looking at the disoriented and bewildered He Zhenghao, Li Fan had no choice but to comfort him in this way.
